    Maybe Joseph Behr and Sons. I don't see any silver currently listed but the logo looks similar.

    Thanks for the link Buffalode. The logo does look very similar although it points the opposite direction.

    You're welcome. I found a couple of lists online for precious metal scrap companies that also listed this company. Maybe it's something they used to do or just do occasionally if an opportunity comes up since I didn't see anything like that mentioned on their site now.

    Maybe they melted down all the wrappers and this was the result...

    Yep, good old Behr. They are 20 min from my house. Mainly scrap metal.

    Is the weight stamped anywhere on the bar?

    As a minimum, I would expect a silver bar to have the name of the company that produced it, the weight, the fineness, and the word "SILVER". A serial number is nice but not mandatory.

    It tested out as silver. I am not that particular as long as it is 999. Plus I thought the logo was neat. You should of seen some of the other clunkers he had. The funniest one I ever saw was basically a melted blob of silver. It was about 10 inches in diameter. Looked like someone just melted some silver on the stovetop.

    Nope. I did not purchase it. The owner of the BM was showing it off the day he bought it. I am sure he purchased it at a discount. Long gone to the smelter I am sure. He must of known the seller as he does not purchase questionable material. By questionable I mean possible stolen goods not that it was not silver.
